At once compassionate, philosophical, and humorous, Jerusalem Beach is a foray into the human
condition in all its contradictions, as told through a series of snapshots of contemporary life in Israel.
A man’s grandfather joins an army platoon of geriatrics looking for purpose in old age. A scheming tech start-up exposes the dire consequences of ambition in trying to share human memories. An elderly couple searches for a beach that doesn’t exist. And, a boy mourns his brother’s death in an attempt to catch time like flies in his fist.
